FamilyRe: What Is The Issue Leading You To Depression Now! Intelligent Minds Only by Belafonte(m): 11:02am On Mar 12, 2020
Depression is a symptom of entitlement, and maybe conceit. When you feel entitled to certain things, money, good health, a better life, you might feel depressed if you are unable to attain these things.

However, be reminded this is life and nothing is promised to anybody. Life is a respecter of nobody. As we speak, some people are battling with coronavirus through no fault of their own, they have the choice of being depressed or living the rest of their days coming to terms with their lot and dying happy.

A couple of months ago, while cities were wiped out either through fire or through hurricane. You dey Naija you dey para say you no get work.

If you are alive you have hope, the energy you’re wasting to depression should be utilized in building the future you desire. You don’t wish yourself into the life of your dreams, you build it.

Depression is a sign of ignorance and an unimaginative mind. Believe you can and you will.

But she has a point.

If a woman had come here with a story about how she upgraded her daughter that she had before in one way or the other, leaving the kids from her present husband out, would the guy take it? Even if it is for supposed good intentions.

And won't the guys on this forum be blaming and back lashing her for not letting her husband know?

It's common in this forum.
This is not true. Men have been lambasted when they have clearly erred or been unreasonable. The man with the wife found with mycoten cream readily comes to mind.

There is no reason a 2 year old should even be in school talk less of increasing his tuition fees by a whopping 50k because of mere jealousy. If he really needs that change of institution, the wife should have made that request before his step sister’s school was changed. Moreover, the OP has assured her her son’s school will be changed when he graduates. What more does she want? So, when he starts buying her sanitary pad, he must buy for her son? Is that not madness?

He doesn’t need it and she’s doing this for purely selfish reasons. This is how parents cause strife between siblings.

I believe I was on that thread where the question was posed to name companies who pay women less... cheesy

Parroting is a common trait with women who desperately want to appear woke.
They do no researches, make no investigations...only just sit behind their phone screens to conjure up things about gender inequality.

I'm still waiting for the day one of these Nigerian femi-parrots will quote portions of the constitution that expressly denies them any rights.
In my opinion, feminism has revealed itself to be a movement intent on having it better than men rather than the gender equality they claim to want to attain. Both genders are equal as far as rights go, but that’s not enough for them because nothing is ever enough for women. They will assault you and claim victimhood upon retaliation.

I’m amazed more men do not see what’s going on.

Sexism at the workplace is wrong on all levels, and there should be laws in place to tackle such.
We need to task our lawmakers
There are already laws in place to tackle sexism and sexual harassment in the workplace. We don’t need more laws, we need people to seek redress using existing laws.

You want them to die?

Inequality, inequality, yet not one of these people can quote the law that prevents women from doing anything.

All they really want is just special treatment - oh I'm a woman, you must love me, care for me, respect me, give me more white-collar jobs and positions... Lol.

How can special treatment even fit into the context of gender equality where no one should be getting any special treatment? grin
The dissociative cognitive reasoning is laughable.
That is how one clown came here a few years ago and was shouting for equal play in Nigeria. After I asked her to provide just one organization that pays women less in Nigeria she went mute.

These women have internalized victimhood and will parrot anything they are told without first considering it critically.

Now, they are saying they want to eliminate gender roles. Meanwhile, in Finland which is considered the most advanced society in terms of gender equality, women are predominantly CHOOSING to venture into historically female endeavors.

It’s a big problem when you’re dealing with people who refuse to further their interests in good faith.

Excuse you....

Females drive caterpillars, drive commercial buses, do bus conductors, drive keke napep, work on building sites lifting bricks and cement, even female vulcanizers.

Many women are sexually harassed at their work places, in colleges/universities even as we speak and you say nothing is stopping them from achieving greatness.
Do women not take advantage of their sexuality to receive favours in the workplace? When marketing vacancies are published and only women are allowed to apply, do we see women protest? Abeg make we hear word.

The most irritating thing about Male hypocrisy is that should the tables be turned their brains would start functioning and they will tell the truth.

If a woman was openly treating her out of wedlock child better than her husbands child and telling her husband she would treat him better when he is older the fools supporting OP with stupid epistles would sing a different tune altogether.

Men are so selfish and self centered its irritating honestly.
You’re not even the wife and you’re ready to burst an artery. How is the OP treated his first daughter better than the 2 year old?

If this topic furthers your opinion on the selfishness of men, God help whoever marries you.

SmileDance:
well, its my opinion tho but there are still ways to manage the situation without the op appearing to be weak, the op can change the younger kids school and explain to his wife that he's doing it for peace to reign, trust me its not easy as a woman not to feel jealous in cases like this. Personally I won't marry a single father because I don't like trouble in my life.
It is easy for her not to feel jealous if she trusts her husband’s judgement and respects his decisions. There is no reason for her feel her own child has been treated shabbily, both children have no basis for comparison.
FamilyRe: Is My Decision Right Or Wrong by Belafonte(m): 11:56am On Mar 11, 2020
SmileDance:
If you want peace to reign, take your wife's kid to the school too.
We understand the motive behind the decision but there are things married people do just for the sake of peace.
You married as a single father with a kid, you have to be extra careful when doing some things. My opinion tho
Doing what his wife wants even after the foolishness of her demands is apparent is not allowing peace to reign, it is simply falling for cheap emotional blackmail that will put him on the back foot almost irreversibly as far as both sets of children are concerned. Acceding to her demands in this situation would be the worst thing OP could do

As a lover and veteran sampler of big booty, I call bûllshit on your claim that big rumps are unsightly when unclothed. Yes, some are unsightly, but so are some small and moderate rumps. There are good and bad samples in all things.

Good Afternoon everyone,

I dated this girl doing my final year in sch, she is pretty, smart and brilliant but her problem then is that she too too religious (SU mama) and she like sex too much. 1 hr or 2hrs is not okay for this young lady on the bed,Night class reading or anywhere all she want is sex. So we stop communicating after school since we are posted to different state for service. To my surprised she called me early this month and I was happy to hear from her and she asked for my pictures to see my new look and ever since then she will not stop calling complaining to me about her finance that she want us to come back together, she still love me more than the guy and she can’t stop thinking about me. The funniest part of it she said she can’t stop imagine the way I shine her punana � And all our rough play together.

If you set such conditions for marriage, you will dig a pit that will be too deep for you to fall into and come out of it without help

Unless you are not getting married to a woman

The only unenforced laws are the ones people fail to take advantage of. Even with the provision of alimony in the constitution, only a minute percentage of Nigerian men women sue for alimony.

God bless you.
Your number 4 has crashed this table.
Most people do not know some women hate third party whether it is their own family or otherwise.
That thing is very annoying, it can pain and cause hate to fester and revenge to brew.
The grudge this third party causes in the heart of the woman is so big it can cause rift in the marriage.
Fear women especially that don't argue during the reporting. That will just be looking and agreeing to the advice. The revenge they are planning eh... only God can save you.
I find this funny. For a man to swallow his pride and involve outsiders in his marriage is an embarrassing situation that he will only do when he has tried all he can and his wife is unresponsive to his attempts at resolving issues.

If he eventually seeks outside help to straighten things with his wife after failing to do so himself and his wife is hatching revenge plans, then that marriage is as good as over. I wouldn’t invite other people to mediate between my wife and I as I value my privacy. I won’t disturb myself over a recalcitrant wife either. I would just ignore her till sense falls on her. She dey crase

I HAVE GIVEN IT MY ALL. I WORK BETWEEN 12-14 hours per day and the only time I don't work all I get is issues.

I am 100% moving out.
Look, church and church people cannot help you in this matter. They will only help you patch your marriage and help you endure the bullshit till your old age when it would be too late to make any drastic moves.

No disrespect intended, but fûck you’re pastors. If they could help, they would have done so with your constant reporting and their constant counseling.

It has been like this from the beginning.

I only just started getting fed up and actually beginning to give up.

I endured this far because I know many youths look up to me and I can't disappoint them but I am running mad.

She left off this morning. Told me three days ago she was traveling today. Nothing said about the purpose of the trip. I got to know from a mother figure that she went to buy some stuffs, gave her 400k for her business days ago which she went to buy stuff with but should a sane woman not tell me her whereabout.

I am just praying she does what she has never done before, fail to return home tonight, it will be the end of us.
Is that not what she told the woman? Would she tell he woman she was going to meet her side boo?

Oga, your wife has zero respect and regard for you and that’s why she behaves the way she does. I’m sure she didn’t forget the anniversary, it’s just not that big of a deal to her anymore. You have made yourself too cheap in her eyes.

Stop giving her any money apart from the usual household expenses and sternly instruct her to not divert household funds for personal business. The standard in your home must be maintained, and if the standard falls, you know she’s trying to make up for the shortfall in her personal finances with home money. Stop giving it to her totally and find alternate ways of running your home.

This is war. You are keeping to your end of the bargain and she is deliberately, ambiguously flouting hers. The more you beg an ardent woman, the more she disrespects you. If she wants to leave, allow her. It USB’s better to be unhappy as a divorcee than as a devoted, but demeaned husband. Funny thing is you’ll be much happier if she leaves. You’ll see

The way to finding peace and fulfillment is doing the things that give you peace and fulfillment.

You’ve been able to secure sustenance spurred by the circumstances of your birth and upbringing. Now, to truly be happy, you must pursue your passions or a career that helps you actualise your true self.

A job, most times, is just a means to an end. Reflect on what and who you truly are at your core and you’ll find what you seek.
